Design and Tone. Perfected.
An intuitive format that contains brutality and clarity at the same time is what the B3K delivers. A defined and powerful overdrive, with a simple layout, it sets no boundaries or rules to unleashing the desired tone.
Specs
Blend
Mixes the clean input signal with the overdriven signal. The clean signal remains at unity gain while the volume of the overdriven signal is set by the Level knob, allowing for fine control of the blend ratio.
Tone
Controls the high frequency content of the sound. A variable low pass filter from 3kHz (ccw) to 8kHz (cw).
Level
Sets the volume of the overdriven signal.
Drive
Sets the amount of saturation in the overdriven signal.
Grunt
When engaged provides a massive low end boost to really thicken your sound.
Mid Boost
Gives a subtle 6dB boost from 300 Hz to 1kHz to help you cut through a bit more.
